I've noticed this on a few pdf uploads this year and last but here are two examples from mine:

- in each case the online book display/reader is blanking pdf pages, it seems indiscriminately; see note to the second item above. The pdfs display all pages before upload and when I downloaded the second item above after noticing the error the downloaded pdf displayed fine on my PC.
I have the impression that pages near the front of a pdf are being blanked.
This seems to be a new phenomenon (2020 onwards only?) and I have no idea what is causing it. Is it to do with e.g. a pdf being compiled with freepic2pdf or is there some other encoding anomaly at play?
